Welcome to the Commonwealth Fund Leadership Forum on Child Health and Development!

The Leadership Forum was designed to establish a network of key leaders with a passion for issues related to children's public health, education, and development. Sponsored by the Commonwealth Fund and housed at the George Washington University's Department of Health Policy, the Leadership Forum serves to create a legislative staff that can apply its comprehensive knowledge of both the issues affecting children's health and the mechanisms of the political process to render legislative and administrative activity from the health news and development science and technology.

In addition to a series of meetings held throughout the year, the Leadership Forum also produces issue briefs on those topics that generated the most interest over the course of those meetings.

I hope you find the information on our website helpful and I appreciate your interest in these critical issues of child health and development.

Best,

Christine C. Ferguson, JD
